Has anyone tried – Azon S5 Case Reviewer (just google it)? I don’t trust review articles when it comes to making a choice to buying anything. Buyer reviews are the most reliable and they point you in the right direction.

I have and like the Tech21 Impact case for my S5, but people should know that the D30 polymer is only in the edges and corners of the case, not in the back. It is meant to stop impact energy when the phone is dropped on a corner or edge. Great case though!

Terrible review. Reads like someone just cliped ads from the manufactures. No comparisons on things like drop tests, no comments on the “echo” problems some of these cases are known for, no discussion of the access problems to buttons or controls because of the design….this does not help consumers select the best cover for their phone at all. This whole article/review is just a waste. Sorry to be mean, but if you are going to do a review of cases for consumers as a tech magazine, give it some credence.
